HE FIGURED IT OUT? – AT 9:52 A.M. ET:  Despite the usual hysterics, and John Kerry's periodic rantings, climate change hasn't exactly caught the imagination of real people.  The head of struggling CNN has noted this.  From Breitbart:   

CNN boss Jeff Zucker conceded that his audience is not interested in the network's global warming agenda, but he indicated that he will try to find more creative ways to make them care.

For starters they can look for actual facts. 

"Climate change is one of those stories that deserves more attention, that we all talk about, but we haven't figured out how to engage the audience in that story in a meaningful way," Zucker said Monday at an awards dinner in New York. "When we do do those stories, there does tend to be a tremendous amount of lack of interest on the audience's part."

CNN's ratings have suffered because the network masquerades as being objective while backing a blatantly liberal agenda. However, its climate change push, by Zucker's own admission, may be even too much for the few people who still regularly watch what had once been the "most trusted name in news."

COMMENT:  How about CNN having a real panel on "climate change," including the best of the skeptics, some of whom are Nobel laureates.  I doubt they will because the true believers at the network, and that apparently includes Zucker himself, consider dissent the equivalent of original sin.  I've never seen a CNN story exposing some of the scandals in the "climate change" business, and it is a business. 

CNN has some fine reporters, but it suffers from its reputation as a liberal operation.  In effect, it loses half its audience every time it goes on the air.
